OEX ACX3666BL 12V Amber Illuminated Push/Pull Switch 10A Rated

OEX ACX3666BL 12V 10A Amber Illuminated Push/Pull Switch 12mm Mounting Diameter On/Off 2 Terminals

The OEX ACX3666BL is a 12V amber illuminated push/pull switch rated at 10A, with a 12mm mounting diameter. Pulling the knob out activates the circuit (On) and pushing it back in deactivates it (Off). The amber LED illuminates when the circuit is active, providing clear visual confirmation of the switch state in low-light environments. The 12mm mounting diameter suits standard 12mm round panel holes, consistent with the ACX1971BL and ACX1973BL rocker switches in the OEX range. Two terminals for a simple two-wire switched circuit connection. Covered by a one year warranty.

Product overview

The push/pull action gives the ACX3666BL a distinctive operation compared to standard rocker or toggle switches. Pulling the knob outward closes the circuit and pushing it back in opens the circuit an intuitive action particularly well suited to cabin lighting, interior accessory circuits and auxiliary switching where a tactile, knob-operated control is preferred over a conventional flat rocker switch. The operation differs from a rocker switch (which rocks side to side) and a toggle switch (which flips up and down), and is often preferred in interior accessory applications for its ergonomics and visual appearance.

At 10A the ACX3666BL handles interior lighting, LED strips, accessory fans and general 12V cabin accessory circuits directly. For loads exceeding 10A, the switch should be used to trigger a relay rather than wiring the load directly through the switch contacts. The 3mm mount length suits thin panels, dash trim and console installations.

Frequently asked questions

How does a push/pull switch work? A push/pull switch uses a knob that moves axially pulling the knob outward closes the circuit (On) and pushing it back in opens the circuit (Off). This differs from a rocker switch (which rocks side to side) or a toggle switch (which flips up and down). Push/pull switches are commonly used for interior lighting and accessory circuits where an axial knob control is preferred.

What does the amber LED indicate? The amber LED illuminates when the switch is in the On (pulled out) position, providing a clear visual indication that the circuit is active. This is particularly useful in a multi-switch panel or in low-light cabin environments where confirming the switch state at a glance is important.

What mounting hole does this switch require? The switch requires a 12mm round hole in the panel, with a mounting length of 3mm suitable for thin panels, dash trim and console installations.

What is the maximum load this switch can handle? This switch is rated at 10A at 12V. For loads exceeding 10A, use the switch to trigger a relay rather than wiring the load directly through the switch contacts.

How does this differ from a standard rocker switch? A rocker switch such as the OEX ACX1971BL or ACX1973BL rocks side to side and has a flat profile. The ACX3666BL uses an axial knob action and has a different visual and tactile feel, often preferred for interior accessory applications where a knob control is more ergonomic or aesthetically appropriate.
